Gratitude
and Mindfulness, the value words from the first and second
Z-inspiration, together are the words for this third edition.

Immediately
it made me think of this: when some years ago I was diagnosed with
COPD (emphysema), I did not smoke anymore for years, but I had done
that for many years and also a lot; also in the house of friends. I
did not want to ask people not to smoke in my presence because of
that.

Then,
one day, I accidentally found out that my friend has asked people not
to smoke in her house when I'm there and that gesture still makes me
very grateful.

Also
my husband, who is slightly spastic, experiences both things very
often. People who do things, unasked and without words to make things
easier for him (for instance stir his coffee and not fill the cup
until the edge), are highly appreciated.

For
my zentangle I used Golven, Meer, Mooka and
Msst

also find the entries and stories of other people.

they are indeed sometimes those little thing who really matter huh.nice right? and also nice that you're able to see.I mean that not just blindly accept but also see and appreciate.if we all try to do a little more, everything is so much better and nicer.

Anne, I am thankful to you and a few others who are really making this blog a worthwhile experiment. Recalling small gestures people make to us out of mindfulness make them so memorable. And that is the expression of our gratitude.

About me

My name is Annemarie and I live in a small town in the centre of the Netherlands.

I got married in 2006 with Kees and have two grown children. Around 1994 I took a number of courses: mandala drawing, form drawing and drawing chakra's. Because I 'can not draw' I stopped after these courses. But ..... in the summer of 2011 a friend told me about Zentangle and since then I am totally hooked. Not being able to draw, and with this method being able to make beautiful zentangles and zia's!

My other hobbies are: reading, writing (poems), listening to music and PC games.
